Ninth Circuit rejects Trump's bid to reinstate birthright citizenship order

A federal appeals court on Wednesday denied the Trump administration's emergency request for relief from an injunction that blocks it from enforcing Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship.

The decision was handed down on the same day Trump's birthright citizenship executive order was slated to come into force. 

Several district courts across the country previously have blocked the order, prompting the Trump administration to file for emergency relief earlier this month.
